Oughterson Plantation - The Barn Villa

The Barn Villa is set within the grounds of the Oughterson Plantation Great House. This beautiful villa was originally the stable for the mules that transported the sugar cane form the fields (or cane gardens) to the mill on the estate. The spacious open floor-plan overlooks a coral stone pool with waterfalls and attached shallow pool for children. The design centers on the kitchen and conversation radiates outwards on the tropic breeze through the dining area, living area and out to the pool. The floor plan is necessarily oriented to the trade breezes which cools all in its path. You will have a place to park outside of the Barn Villa. The grounds around the Villa are shared, so you can socialize with the guests staying in the other two villas or you can retreat to the barn for some downtime. I am always available if you need something. Come by the house or give me a call. There is so much to do. Nearby is Crane Beach, recently granted status by the NYTimes one of the 10 best beaches in the world. Oistins Fish Market and local produce stands will make your meals memorable. And of course your are welcome to hundreds of miles of beaches. The drive up the eastern coast is as spectacular as any Big Sur California or Patagonia drive. Take a boat ride with Peter Milne from the Yacht club or twist his arm to go waterskiing. Diving, snorkeling and cliff jumping are a few other unique nearby adventures. Or don’t do anything adventurous. Sit by the pool and read a book. Take a walk through miles of caning roads in the early morning mist of Barbados. Breath. Converse. Cook. Be warned this is not for the Disney or luxury resort crowd. This is open-to-the-trade-breezes lifestyle as the Bajan’s live. You will not be living ten feet from your suburban neighbor’s back yard. You will not see another condo from your villa. No tour schedule, no concierge tipping, no reservations for dinner and you may have to suffer a frog crossing the doorstep or the resident plantation dogs who wander in at any hour. This is life as you would live if you were to move to Barbados – who knows, after staying at Oughterson Villas, you just might. A car is best, but there is also bus transportation and taxi services available. I live here with my 7 dogs & they will be sure to greet you daily!
